I applied for my fac a few months back and thought I might as well tag a sgc on to the application ..

as I shoot a dairy farm for rats and ferrels, the owner docent want me shooting them off the roof and clogging all the gutters up so I cant get near them!!

until now.. so I bought a semi so I could get a sound mod as to not create to much noise for the cattle. 

then I realised I like using shotguns so I bought an o/u off a mate at work, I like the idea of more traditional..

so today works gone t1ts up and ive got a few days off so I decided to have a crack at the woodys, ive spoken to a few of the local lads who decoy and no one is getting big bags,, they seem scarce and theres that much going on its hard to get on them so I took a couple of flock crows to put at the back of the pattern.

got setup and instantly the crows were on it.. hardly saw any pigeons and they were reluctant to commit so I only managed 3 but got a decent bag of crows!

I took me air rifle with me for the out of range follow up shots.. good job I did cos im still getting to grips with things!

think six needed the follow up.  

set my hide with my back to the woods with good cover either side and had a good day:thumbs:

one of my mates picked up a second had loader off eBay for £30 he gets given loads of shit cartridges cos his dads something to do with a club!

we were both on about getting  410's for mooching in the woods

It's  nice to be starting out on something new. Shotgun shooting is a swing through and move action as oposed to an aim and hold.  personally l  wouldnt bother with a 410.  Although a 410 pushes shot at the same speed as any other bore size its all in the shot string and pattern. If you are having difficulties with a 12, it won't be easier with a 410.
